2.3 Installation

The MR-S2 is designed for ease of installation and configuration. Once the unit has been removed from the packing container, please follow these instructions:

Step Procedure

1 Place the MR-S2 on a flat surface with free-air flow where the LEDs can be

clearly observed with unrestricted access to the rear panel of the unit.

2 It is suggested that the coaxial connection to the Low Noise Block (LNB)

NOT be connected to the unit until the unit has been fully configured. If the unit will not be powering the LNB, it is recommend that an F-Type DC Block be installed on the input to the MR-S2’s L-Band input

3 Connect the DC power connection to the connection labeled PWR on the

back of the unit and tighten the restraining nut to ensure secure operation.

4 Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable (patch cord) to the port labeled

ETHERNET. This cable should be connected to an Ethernet concentrator (hub) or switch.

5 Connect a terminal cable (supplied) to the port labeled TERM. This cable

should be connected to a PC’s serial port (DB-9) to initially configure the MRS2.

6 Connect the AC power cord between a standard wall outlet and the power

supply. The Blue LED will illuminate.

IMPORTANT

Upon startup, the following LEDs will illuminate on the MS-R2 front panel:

2.4 Initial Configuration

The initial configuration involves setting up the IP parameters via the terminal cable. Once the IP parameters have been configured, the terminal cable can be removed. The terminal cable should be stored in a known location, since it may be needed in the future.

To configure the IP parameters:

Step Procedure

1 Using a terminal emulator on a PC such as HyperTerminal™ or

TeraTerm™, set up the communication port as follows:

• 38,400 BAUD

• 8 Data Bits

• 1 Stop Bit

• No Parity

• No Flow Control

2 Press the <ENTER> key on the PC – the MR-S2’s menu should be

displayed. 3 Press “N” for Network Menu. 4 Press “I” for the IP Address, Enter the IP Address and press <ENTER>. 5 Press “M” for the Subnet Mask. Enter the Subnet Mask and press

<ENTER>. 6 Press “G” for the Default Gateway IP Address. Enter the Default

Gateway Address and press <ENTER>. 7 Press “S” to save the parameters.

8 Press “Y” to confirm the saving of parameters. 9 Press “X” to exit to the main menu.

At this point, the unit has been configured for full operation and the terminal cable may be removed. The coaxial connection to the Low Noise Block (LNB) and ASI Input (for the CMR-5990 [MR-S2-ASI]) may now be safely attached to the L-Band input port. For continued operation the unit may be managed via the Terminal Interface; however, it is recommended to use the Web Interface for ease of management.

Chapter 4. DEVICE MANAGEMENT

VIA USER INTERFACES

4.1 Introduction

Management of the MR-S2 is simple and intuitive. There are a variety of ways to configure and manage the MR-S2:

• Web Interface via a LAN-based Desktop Browser

• Terminal Interface via direct connection to a PC’s asynchronous serial port

• Telnet Interface via a LAN

• TFTP for remote terminal upgrades

• SNMP Private MIB and MIB II (Future)

4.2 Web Interface

The Web Interface, operating under standard HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP), is used to communicate with and command the MR-S2 via a HyperText Markup Languagebased Graphical User Interface (GUI). To utilize the Web Interface, a LAN connection must exist between the PC with a browser and the MR-S2.

Once a valid IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway have been entered into the MR-S2, activate a browser on the desktop. Enter the IP address for the MR-S2 into the URL field as shown in standard 80 via the Terminal Interface, then the port number must be appended with a colon to the IP address.

A successful connection between the PC and the MR-S2 will result in the display of the “splash page” shown in

4-1

4.2.10 Tuner Configuration

Figure 4-12. Tuner Configuration page

Primary and Backup Tuner Configuration

The MR-S2 can be configured to have a backup (secondary) configuration. The secondary tuner configuration allows the user to configure a backup configuration in the event the main carrier is taken down. The MR-S2 will only attempt to use the secondary configuration in the event the primary carrier is not available.

LNB Frequency

The frequency of the Local Oscillator (LO) that resides in the Low Noise Block (LNB) amplifier located at the antenna. For Ku-Band operation, the LO is typically 10,750 MHz for Ku-Band operation North America and other common frequencies are 9,750 MHz and 10,600 MHz. For C-Band operation, 5,150 MHz is a common LO frequency. Please consult your LNB manufacturer for the LO in the LNB.

Downlink Frequency

The actual receive frequency being down linked from the satellite to the Low Noise Block (LNB) amplifier located at the antenna. For Ku-Band operation, this frequency ranges from 10,700 MHz to 12,750 MHz. For C-Band operation, this frequency ranges from 3,400 MHz to 4,200 MHz.

The combination of the LO and the downlink frequency produce the L-Band frequency expected by the MR-S2. Some examples are as follows:

4-13

Digicast Media Router S2 Receiver CMR-5970 (MR-S2) & CMR-5990 (MR-S2-ASI) Revision A Device Management via User Interfaces MN/MRS2ASIDC.IOM

Example 1:

LO = 10,750 MHz Ku-Band Receive Frequency = 11,895 MHz L-Band Frequency = 11,895 MHz – 10,750 MHz L-Band Frequency = 1,145 MHz

Example 2:

LO = 10,600 MHz Ku-Band Receive Frequency = 12,010 MHz L-Band Frequency = 12,010 MHz – 10,600 MHz L-Band Frequency = 1,410 MHz

Example 3:

LO = 5,150 MHz C-Band Receive Frequency = 3,920 MHz L-Band Frequency = 5,150 MHz – 3,920 MHz L-Band Frequency = 1,230 MHz

Modulation

The MR-S2 supports the following modes of operation:

• DVB-S – QPSK

• DVB-S2 – QPSK

• DVB-S2 – 8PSK

Each mode of operation provides a range of FEC rates that are supported based on the mode and modulation.

Symbol Rate

Depending on the configured mode of operation, the following symbol rates are supported:

• DVB-S – QPSK 2 to 45 Msps

• DVB-S2 – QPSK 6 to 32 Msps

• DVB-S2 – 8PSK 6 to 32 Msps

Polarity

The configured polarity provides the voltage supplied to the LNB or switch. The valid selections for the MR-S2 are 13 VDC for vertical polarization and 18 VDC for horizontal polarization. The MR-S2 is capable of providing up to 500mA of current in either mode of operation. It is recommended, that if the LNB voltage is not required, then a DC block should be installed.

Spectral Inversion

There are four supported modes of spectral inversion:

• On – forces the tuner to stay with spectral inversion. The tuner will not

check for spectral inversion automatically

4-14

Digicast Media Router S2 Receiver CMR-5970 (MR-S2) & CMR-5990 (MR-S2-ASI) Revision A Device Management via User Interfaces MN/MRS2ASIDC.IOM

• Off – forces the tuner to stay without spectral inversion. The tuner will

not check for spectral inversion automatically

• On Both – tries spectral inversion first and then attempts to automatically

check spectral inversion periodically

• Off Both – tries non-spectral inversion first and then attempts to

automatically check spectral inversion periodically

LNB 22 KHz Tone

Enables or disables the LNB 22 KHz tone to the LNB for remote LNB and switch control.

Pilot

Enables or disables the Pilot for DVB-S2 mode of operation only.

Roll Off

The expected filter roll off of the carrier the receiver should be looking at. This parameter only works for DVB-S2 mode, since DVB-S mode uses a fixed roll off of 35%. The valid roll offs in DVB-S2 mode are:

• 20%

• 25%

• 35%

DiSEqC

Enables sending and receiving DiSEqC commands as are supported in DiSEqC mode 1.2. The valid configuration settings for DiSEqC mode are:

• Off

• Mode A

• Mode B

• Mode C

• Mode D

Switch

Enables or disables the ability to switch to a backup carrier. If set to disabled, the MR-S2 will not attempt to switch to a backup carrier.

Switch Time

The number of seconds the unit should wait before attempting to locate the backup carrier.

4.3 Terminal Interface

The Terminal Interface provides the user with a textual configuration dialog for configuring the MR-S2. This method of configuration should be used for initial configuration of the unit; i.e., configuring the network parameters for the unit but not for normal operation. The Web (HTTP) Interface is recommended for operational management.

The Terminal Interface allows the entire unit to be configured and managed, but this interface can only be used while a serial connection is present between the MR-S2 and a PC. The screens shown in this section are displayed via a Telnet connection.

The same menu information is displayed via the serial interface with some specific features only available via this access method – these ‘serial interface only’ features are noted in this section. Detailed information is provided about the menu features in Chapter 4.2 Web Interface.

The MR-S2 supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2). Two types of Management Information Bases (MIBs) are supported: MIB II and private MIB.

MIB II is the default MIB that is used to gather generic information about the unit, as system ‘up’ time, p only read access, not write access. To read and write configuration parameters over SNMP requires a private MIB. The private MIB allows parameters to be set on the Web, Terminal, or Telnet interfaces.

• Section Packing and Non-Section Packing

• IGMP version 3

Appendix B. IP ROUTING

SUPPORT

o QPSK 6 to 32 Msps o 8PSK 6 to 32 Msps

B.2 IP Configuration

Both Unicast and Multicast IP datagrams are encapsulated per the Multiprotocol Encapsulation specification. Routing of datagrams is accomplished by configuration of PIDs in the MR-S2, as described in the following sections.

B–1

Digicast Media Router S2 Receiver CMR-5970 (MR-S2) & CRM-5990 (MR-S2-ASI) Revision A IP Routing Support MN/MRS2ASIDC.IOM

B.2.1 Unicast Routing

Unicast routing provides point-to-point delivery of IP datagrams. Routes for Unicast IP packets are configured according to the following:

• IP Addresses, which fall into three classes:

o A (0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255) o B (128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255) o C (192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255)

• Medium Access Control (MAC) Addresses, which identifies the destination

device (next-hop) to which the packets are sent. The least-significant bit of the first byte of the six-byte MAC address is a ‘0’. For example, 0x00 11 22 33 44 55 is a Unicast address.

Unicast is supported by the MR-S2 as it would be in any routed network. Packets received by the MR-S2 are routed to the Ethernet if they meet the subnet criteria or the MR-S2 is configured to route non-local packets to a default gateway.

The MR-S2 uses Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation in which a ‘slash’ followed by a decimal number is used to represent the number of bits for the mask, e.g. /32 is 255.255.255.255 and /24 is 255.255.255.0.

As stated above, part of the route configuration is a MAC address that is assigned for delivery of the packet when it is encapsulated into MPE. The MAC address typically identifies the remote receiver (physical device), e.g. satellite terminal, DTV terminal, or cable receiver.

B.2.2 Multicast Routing

Multicast routing provides point-to-multipoint delivery of IP datagrams. Routes for multicast IP packets are configured according to the following:

• IP Addresses, which fall into class D (224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255)

• Medium Access Control (MAC) Addresses, which identifies the frames as

multicast. The least-significant bit of the first byte of the six-byte MAC address is a ‘1’. For example, 0x01 00 5E 00 00 01 is a multicast address

• Broadcast frames are identified by the MAC Address 0x FF FF FF FF FF FF.

Multicast IP addresses are related to multicast MAC addresses as follows:

The lower 23 bits of the IP address are mapped into the lower 23 bits of the MAC address as shown in Figure B-1. Examples of the relationship are:

1) Received IP: 239.1.1.10 = MAC: 0x01 00 5E 01 01 0A

2) Received IP: 224.10.10.10 = MAC: 0x01 00 5E 0A 0A 0A

3) Received IP: 228.63.10.10 = MAC: 0x01 00 5E 3F 0A 0A

B–2

Digicast Media Router S2 Receiver CMR-5970 (MR-S2) & CRM-5990 (MR-S2-ASI) Revision A IP Routing Support MN/MRS2ASIDC.IOM

Note that the upper 5 bits of the multicast IP address are ignored in the MAC so that 32 Multicast group IP addresses map to a single MAC address. This implies further filtering is required at the end device.

Figure B-1. Multicast Mapping (IP to MAC)

B.3 Section Packing

Section packing is a technique utilized to provide more optimal utilization of the MPEG-2 transport stream (TS) packet structure. When section packing is not used, each TS packet (containing the MPE section) can carry no more than a single section. This often results in wasted payload capacity when the sections are less than 184 bytes.

The section packing feature allows more than a single MPE section to be carried by an MPEG-2 TS packet, thereby minimizing wasted payload capacity.

In the case of a large MPE section that spans multiple MPEG-2 packets, the ending of an MPE section may occur in the middle of an MPEG-2 packet. In this instance, with section packing, a new MPE section begins immediately after the first MPE section has finished without any ‘fill’ (wasted) bytes having to be inserted before the start of the next MPEG-2 packet.

Appendix C. SYSTEM LOG

C.1 Introduction

The MR-S2 supports a feature known as system logging, more commonly called Syslog.

This section illustrates how a system logger can be set up on a Linux or Unix system allowing the MR-S2 to report system events to a logger attached via an Ethernet connection.

C.2 Enabling a System Logger

To enable system logging, add the following command string to the bottom of the /etc/syslog.conf file on the Logging Server:

CONFIGURATION

# log the mux messages to here *.=info /var/log/mux.log

Where:

*.=info tells the logger to send all messages it receives from the Mux to the Dir/file

Note that this is merely a sample configuration. CEFD does not support the setup of a syslog

server, since it is assumed that one is already configured and operational for use.

C–1

Digicast Media Router S2 Receiver CMR-5970 (MR-S2) & CMR-5990 (MR-S2-ASI) Revision A System Log Configuration MN/MRS2ASIDC.IOM

Looking in the top of file /etc/init.d/syslog2, the following is usually displayed:

#!/bin/bash # # syslog Starts syslogd/klogd. # # # chkconfig: 2345 12 88 # description: Syslog is the facility by which many daemons use to log \ # messages to various system log files. It is a good idea to always \ # run syslog.

# Source function library. . /etc/init.d/functions

[ -f /sbin/syslogd ] || exit 0 [ -f /sbin/klogd ] || exit 0

# Source config if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/syslog ] ; then . /etc/sysconfig/syslog else SYSLOGD_OPTIONS=”-m 0” KLOGD_OPTIONS=”-2” fi

Of specific interest is the following line:

SYSLOGD_OPTIONS=”-m 0”

By adding a –r suffix, this allows the server to accept messages from remote machines. The edited line should read as follows:

SYSLOGD_OPTIONS=”-m 0 –r”

Check the services file, normally at /etc/services, to ensure that PORT 514 is defined. By default this should be enabled on most machines.

NOTE

After making the changes you must restart syslogd.

On most machines, entering “service syslog restart” should complete the configuration.

This file may be in a different location.
